Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Vortex, I'm sorry to say I haven't written any Smallville fic, so thats not me.

No worries! it's a good name, so I suspected that it might not be you. Glad to have you, fic or no.

(Sorry! Just didn't want to alienate the nonCilantro people by making it All About Coriander.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Don't be sorry! It's a lovely piece, and should go down in the History, along with the piece JZ wrote and MM added to about the Wandering Gypsy Buffistas--which I believe was on WX while we were building? discussing building? this board. I'm not sure it was ever posted here, and it was a lovely piece, as well, and yours is similar in stirring inspirational vein. Wish I could find it. I'd tack them both up on the bulletin board by the main entrance.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Fay, that was fabulous, and I am honored to be mentioned in it.

Hi, Helena! Hi, Sophie Max!

And what Jilli said - hi to all the recently de-lurked whom I haven't greeted directly. Love seeing your stories... and stances on cilantro, etc.

ETA: And P-C beat me to COMM, but that is fabulous, Fay!

...all my words have been taken by my work. - Mala

Hello Helena and Sophie Max! I am so pleased there are more lurkers introducing themselves.

And Fay that was brilliant! If I hadn't already put in an appearance I would have done so after that just to acknowledge the wonder that it is!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Fay, I knew you'd come through, but geez, that was impressive.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Wow, Fay! I'm boggled! (and I really needed the pick-me-up after grading these exams. Can I just fail 90% of my students now and save everyone the trouble of the rest of the term?)

Hi fellow lurkers!

Because books.

Gauchos make the baby Jesus cry.

Shhhh! The Empress will smite you.

But I totally agree.
